resembles some gorgeous insect as it darts
through the air, its head and neck being a
beautiful metallic blue with a border of
white other portions being a rich metallic
green. The tail, which is pure white, can be
expanded so as to form a semi-circle, and
when in the air with the tail feathers ont
stretched it looks as though it were resting
on twig. For several moments the little
creature will remain literally suspended in

five birds collect together and seem to vie

A WEST SIDE POSTOFFICE.
Residents There Are Pretty IMAM
imously in Favor of One.

lmOuSly In EaVOr OF one.
The matter of a postoffice in West st.
Paul is question that has been brought
before the various administrations for
10! these many years, and it is under
stood that a strong effort is now being
made to have the Office established. The
residents of the Sixth ward are pretty
unanimous in their request for one.
Branch telegraph offices and express Of
fees have been established on the other
side of the river, and citizens there az
que that the postoffice department
should keep pace with private enter
prises. The population of West st. Paul
has been estimated at $4,000. AS it is
now these people are obliged to cross a
bridge 1,7O0 feet long to purchase a
stamp or register letter. IL West
st. Paul were not attached to the city
of ST. Paul, it would have an Office of
its own and at least ten carriers. 1t
would cost according to good estimate
about 81, $50 to establish an office there,
but this amount would be covered by the
increased local postage at once and the
Office would simply cost nothing at ALL
The citizens of West st. Paul would
willingly contribute the suitable room
for the establishment of the office, but
this is not deemed advisable, as it is
held that the government is able and
certainly should provide adequate mail
service. 1t is understood that the post
master had made request for sub
Office prior to the present adminiStra-
ton, and if the powers that be desire to
earn the everlasting gratitude of the
residents of West st. Paul, they have an
excellent opportunity to do it..
